This week, CyberSmart, a leading provider of cyber risk management for small businesses has launched its partnership with e92plus, the UK’s top independent cybersecurity Value Added Distributor (VAD).
e92plus has long been dedicated to protecting its partners and helping them accelerate business growth through its suite of channel-first security and cloud solutions. Indeed, e92plus has helped over 1,200 VARs, MSPs, SIs, CSPs and consultancies across the UK and Ireland.
CyberSmart offers an all-in-one cybersecurity monitoring, optimisation, training and insurance solution, proven to defend against the unexpected. Like e92plus, CyberSmart focuses on delivering its cybersecurity platform through the channel, making this an auspicious partnership.
The partnership will focus on delivering CyberSmart’s cyber risk management platform, including Cyber Essentials certification, products CyberSmart Active Protect and CyberSmart Vulnerability Manager, and cyber insurance to e92plus’ partners throughout the UK and Ireland.
While the partnership is launching primarily in the UK and Ireland, e92plus plans to launch alongside CyberSmart in the Netherlands and other EU markets in the coming years.
The joining of forces between CyberSmart and e92plus is timely. A recent survey from CyberSmart reveals that 65% of MSP customers now expect their provider to manage their cybersecurity infrastructure or their cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. This partnership will help deliver the tools MSPs and VARs need to meet customer demand.
“We’re excited to be working with Cybersmart to bring their platform to our partner community,” explained Mukesh Gupta, CEO at e92plus. “We’re seeing strong demand in the SMB and mid-market sectors for more assistance around cybersecurity strategy, processes and compliance standards, and this addresses that growing marketing need. The requirements are so complex and diverse, and many businesses struggle to have the internal staff and expertise to manage their cybersecurity tools, let alone manage frameworks, address staff training and ensure an organisation has the right risk management and reporting in place. For our VARs and MSPs, this is a perfect way to build their services and consultancy offering without significant investment.”
“We’re delighted to be working with e92plus,” said Jamie Akhtar, CEO at CyberSmart. “Our businesses share a vision of what cybersecurity for SMBs should look like. The demand for solutions that can help smaller businesses get on top of their cybersecurity, compliance and risk management is only growing. And, this partnership addresses the demand, while giving MSPs and VARs a fast and simple route to building up their cybersecurity capabilities. We see this as another important step towards our mission of providing complete cyber confidence to every small business.”
About CyberSmart
Cybercrime is projected to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by the end of 2025, and 58% targets small businesses. Meanwhile, the cybersecurity gap between large enterprises with the resources to weather attacks and the SMEs who don’t is widening.
CyberSmart was created to fix this problem. Protecting a business from cyber threats shouldn’t require expert knowledge or deep pockets. So, as well as offering the fastest route to government-grade certification on the market, CyberSmart also provides simple, cost-effective technology, enabling SMEs to protect themselves without cyber expertise. This is paired with free cyber insurance, upon certification. Meanwhile, its Privacy Toolbox offering ensures customers stay on top of their data privacy obligations.
